No rest for the weary. President Obama will replace at least three high-level Cabinet members after his reelection, with some sources saying that U.N. envoy Susan Rice is one of the top contenders to replace Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Rice is believed to be the president’s top choice despite her recent remarks on the attack on the U.S. Consulate in Libya. The other top contenders include Sen. John Kerry, who heads the powerful Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and National Security Adviser Tom Donilon. But Former White House chief of staff Bill Daley said on Wednesday that the president’s first order of business will be replacing Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner.
